Wound care article

Abstract

The invention concerns a wound care article, comprising at least one sheet-like layer, characterized in that the sheet-like layer has at least two wings and a central region, the wings being arranged around the central region and the wings being joined to each other via the central region.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wound care article, comprising at least one sheet-like layer, characterized in that the sheet-like layer has at least two wings and a central region, the wings being arranged around the central region and the wings being joined to each other via the central region. 
     
     
         2 . The wound care article according to  claim 1  for treatment of deep wounds, sores or wounds in body cavities or wounds in regions with convex or irregular topology. 
     
     
         3 . The wound care article according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the sheet-like layer has a radially symmetrical peripheral shape, while the wings are obtained by radial incisions which extend from the margin of the absorbent material up to the central region. 
     
     
         4 . The wound care article according to  claim 3 , characterized in that regions are cut out between the individual wings, so that wings and cut-out regions are arranged uniformly alternating about the central region. 
     
     
         5 . The wound care article according to  claim 4 , characterized in that at least one wing has one or more lateral incisions in the wing. 
     
     
         6 . The wound care article according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the wound care article comprises absorbent material. 
     
     
         7 . The wound care article according to  claim 6 , characterized in that the absorbing material has a nonwoven, preferably an airlaid, and/or the absorbing material has superabsorbing polymers. 
     
     
         8 . The wound care article according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the wound care article has at least in some sections a sheath which is permeable to fluid at least in some sections. 
     
     
         9 . The wound care article according to  claim 8 , characterized in that the wound care article has at least one slot in its sheath. 
     
     
         10 . The wound care system according to  claim 9 , further comprising a drainage device and/or a surgical conduit coupled to the wound care article. 
     
     
         11 . A method for treatment of deep wounds and/or wounds of bodily regions with convex topology or wounds situated in the region of an irregular bodily topology comprising:
 using a wound care article, comprising at least one sheet-like layer, characterized in that the sheet-like layer has at least two wings and a central region, the wings being arranged around the central region and the wings being joined to each other via the central region.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising using the wound care article in a partial vacuum wound care system. 
     
     
         13 . A kit comprising a wound care article, comprising at least one sheet-like layer, characterized in that the sheet-like layer has at least two wings and a central region, the wings being arranged around the central region and the wings being joined to each other via the central region, and operably coupled to at least one glue device.
